SPECIFICATION forming part vof Letters Patent No. 272,518, dated .February 20, 1883.

f Appneatmnnled octoberionsssz. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN BAssEMrn, a citi# zen ot' the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have' inventeda new and kuseful Improvement in Spittoors or Guspidors, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specilication, and the y letters and iigures marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional view of my improved cuspidor. Fig. 2 is a sectional view ot' my detachable funnel with the detlector D attached by metal `arms orl joints d d. Fig. B is a side view of my pail or receptacle.

Myinvention relates to certainimprovements in cuspidors of a combination of devices consisting- First. Of a pail within the cuspidor, resting upon the bottom within a recess, and the neck thereof to catch and hold the contents ot' the cuspidor.

Second. Of a funnel for and separate from the cuspidor with a detlector attached thereto, whereby the contents thereof are deflected to the sides'of the receptacle, entirely out of view. Thus with a movable funnel and pail it permits the pail or receptacle to be easily and con` veniently emptied oi' its contents and cleaned. Third. Ot' a heavy wire turned in around the base of the cuspidor ff, thereby greatly strengthening it, and it also serves as acou'nterl Weight to keep it in an upright position.

Fourth. Ot' casters fastened to its bottom to facilitate the operation ot' moving it from place to place. rlhis feature of the cuspidor, however, is not new, as casters have long been in use for that purpose.

In the drawings, AArepresents the form of the body of the cuspidor.

secured to the funnel by metal armsorjointsdd, for directing the liquid into the receptacle G.

b b shows the metal band or soldered ange round the under side ofthe funnel, near the top,

which is inserted in the basin, iitting firmly and held securely. f

C is the removable pail or receptacle, which sets securely in a recess and the neck ot' the basinor cuspidor at the bottom thereof', and extends' to the top of thezbasin.

` What I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The' improved cuspidor, constructed, as described, andvconsisting of ya basin 'or cuspi dor and a funneled top provided with a deilector, and a metal band or ange encircling the under side ofthe funnel,near the top,which isinserted in the basin, whereby the funnel is firmly held to the basin, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. A

2. A cuspidor composed of abasin and a detlector secured to a detachablefunnel, where` by the expectorations, luids,&c., are deflected to the sides of the receptacle, entirely out of view, substantially asand for the purposes set forth.

3. A cuspidor composed of abasin and a deiiector secured to a detachable funnel provided with a removableA pail or receptacle to catch the contents of the cuspidor, substantially as and for the purposesV set forth.
